Maybe LA? -Port of LA/LB-Film: growing the film segment-Airport: flights are available to all over the world, got to take care of an issue no problem, vendors can fly in with ease -Produce: a lot of produce from the globe come to LA (grocery segment)-Entertainment: things to do too many to list, take out clients, company outing -Food: maybe the food choice the best in the US -Weather: maybe the best climate in the US-Infrastructure: already in place (at a small town, I don’t know)

I posted this on another thread. The Polls are showing 2/1 chance for Atlanta, 3/1 for Austin and 6/1 for Boston. Atlanta is in the lead.

In 2018, the Amazon's second headquarters will be announced. Will it be in Austin or Atlanta? People on betting on Atlanta. I am going upload some interesting real estate charts of three cities in the south.

At the same time, the city that scores the second headquarters can expect housing prices, along with other costs of living, to increase.

New research from Apartment List, a site that catalogs apartment rentals across the country, forecasts an annual rent increase of up to 2% per year in the city that houses HQ2. That's on top of organic price increases that already occur from year to year.

"Rents are already rising rapidly nationwide," Apartment List said in a report that analyzed data from the U.S. Census and Bureau of Labor Statistics. Half of renters are considered "cost burdened," spending 30 percent or more of their income on rent, according to the firm.

Apartment List said Raleigh, Pittsburgh and San Jose would experience the highest rent increases if HQ2 comes to town. The impact would be smaller in cities like Washington D.C., Los Angeles and Dallas. The largest increase in housing costs would be in Raleigh, which wouldn't be able to build enough homes to sustain the influx of workers, according to the report. Meanwhile, housing costs would stay lower in places like Dallas, which has lax building restrictions and a cheaper labor pool.

In my opinion, the Atlanta's housing market is still undervalued. I've been told for many years that the housing prices in the south just doesn't appreciate 10% a year. It is not possible in the south. Take a look at the Dallas and Nashville chart. Nashville's housing prices are now 35% above the last peak while Atlanta is just getting back up to his last peak of July 2017. I sense that the Atlanta's housing market momentum is starting to build just like the LA/OC market between 1994 - 1999. There is no reason why Atlanta housing market can't be above 35% the last July 2007 peak like Nashville. Amazon's second headquarters in Atlanta will be a complete game changer.
